Oro Project Update
Permitting is nearly completed and field work will begin this week on the Company’s USD$300,000 staged program to explore the Stockpond gold target at the Company’s 100% controlled Oro property in New Mexico. This program will include prospecting and trenching this summer, followed by drilling in the fall of 2016. The Company recently completed an equity raise to fund this program.
Low outcrops and float of silicified and oxidized sediments occur in a 150m by 150m window through a thin cover of gravel at the Stockpond target. Grab samples of outcrop and float contain 0.1 to 4.8g/t Au in 15 of the 21 samples collected. The mineralization has characteristics of an intrusion-related, disseminated gold deposit in the outer region of a zoned porphyry-style base and precious metal district.
Southern Silver has consolidated the Oro porphyry district over the past several years, and the Project now consists of approximately 12 square kilometers of patented ground, New Mexico state leases, and BLM claims.
